Fox News showed her with her husband at the White House during some dinner there. If she was a CIA covert agent, would she be seen at such a public function?

If she was a CIA covert agent, would she be seen at such a public function?

Doesn't "covert agent" mean "no apparent connection to parent agency" rather than "has no public life"? I'd imagine covert agents are seen at very public functions all the time. Those seeing them simply assume they are bureaucrats, teachers, journalists, or what have you rather than agents. Living a seemingly normal and mundane life is their cover.
